Re: ATTN: 3dfxers with VGA capture and Q3

Are you sure that's the result of the 3dfx DAC and does not come from the capture card's ADC?

Right. Apart from that, I think we can all agree that these platforms are, even by today's standards, too usable for everyday cases to be called vintage...

Following the trend that has everything Apple >3yrs old called "vintage", I'll have to post this here :lol: Received a replacement fan for a MacBook 13" unibody late 2008 model, my first and only bought-as-new Apple hardware. The old one was slightly ringing after nearly 8 years of constant use ( …

Huh, I never thought of the ViRGE as being a good 2D card. Everyone just talked about it at the time as "the 3D decelerator" and generally being a piece of crap when you could instead spend your money on a 3dfx card, maybe with a Matrox for 2D if you could afford it. ... It's remarkable what …

Yup, already noticed these, also I assume that the JT1-7 jumpers on the bottom left of the picture (just between the VLB slot and the regulator) are for CPU voltage selection (no pcb printed info on these), and don't know anything about the jumpers on the left of the chip just above the CPU type …

@FaSMaN: I don't, unfortunately 🙁 @brassicGamer: Yup, not on TH99 either. In fact a 5V CPU attempt is the approach I'm going to follow later this day, let's hope I don't break anything 😜

Thanks! So, "T. W." == Jetway? In fact, could be, Jetway boards were common in Greece (think plaisio). More searching to do I guess... I'll do try to run it with a 5V cpu and fiddle with the jumpers to see if I get anywhere, at least until I find a proper manual or something like that. edit: that …

I would power it on, if I knew what CPU it had last time or as long as I knew the jumper settings to set one of my CPUs, but since I don't, thats why I'm asking 😀 Won't risk destroying a DX4 with a voltage mismatch...

Googled a bit on VIA Pluto but didn't find this one. It has "T.W." printed just above the VLB slot; I've seen this before on a 386 board, don't know what it is... Looks like a great candidate for an Am486DX4 build, however I'm totally in the dark about its settings. Any kind of help would be …

A little bit of everything. I have a love for electronica in most of its uptempo forms, from rave/acid house to 90s cheesy eurodance to trance. My favourite genres are 90s goa trance, full-on and progressive psytrance and Greek uplifting trance (I actually try to be an active part of this small …

Yup, for example I've come across some S3 cards with missing caps/components that fell off due to bad handling, but they're not rare or something here, so you can safely pass. On the other hand, a Diamond S220 PCI Verité was my first (and only) PCI Rendition card. It looked bad and did use some …

The ("my") first PC to be in my own room …
